Bug#680095: iceweasel: Iceweasel consumes 50-80% cpu when idling

[Pierre M.]

Package: iceweasel
Followup-For: Bug #680095

Dear Maintainer,

I have good news : after software updates, restarts, reboots, release and so
the problem was still there and amplifying with hibernate-resume cycles ; but
thanks to LWN.net I read a comment that pointed to Firebug ; I disabled Firebug
and restarted iceweasel and Yeah! now iceweasel is very low on the CPU radar.
Issue gone for me :-)
I suggest reaffecting the bug to Firebug.

Pierre M.
